BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of book holders, and more particularly to a fully adjustable book holder.
2. Description of the Related Art
As can be seen by reference to the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,497,882; 3,351,312; 4,021,013; 4,591,124; and 4,867,407 the prior art is replete with myriad and diverse support mechanisms attached to beds for holding books or other articles.
While all of the aforementioned prior art constructions are more than adequate for the basic purpose for which they have been specifically designed, they are uniformly deficient with respect to their failure to provide a simple, efficient and practical adjustable book holder.
As a consequence of the foregoing situation, there has existed a need for a new and improved adjustable book holder and the provision of such a construction is a stated objective of the present invention.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly stated, the present invention provides a book support apparatus having a plurality of adjustable features to captively engage books and other articles of different sites. The book support apparatus also includes straps that secure the device to the user's torso.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS
These and other attributes of the invention will become more clear upon a thorough study of the following description of the best mode for carrying out the invention, particularly when reviewed in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1
is a front perspective view of the book holder of the present invention;
FIG. 2
is a partial rear elevational view of the planar book support;
FIG. 3
is a partial side elevational view of the book support;
FIG. 4
is a partial front perspective view of the adjusting and locking mechanism connecting the side member of the base and the upwardly extending leg; and
